Today, on National Farmer’s Day, we honor the hardworking men and women who dedicate their lives to feeding our nation. At FVC, we recognize the dedication, resilience, and determination of America's farmers and ranchers. Let us also recognize the sacrifices farmers make, as well as their resilience, innovation, and unwavering determination in the face of rising costs, unpredictable weather, and an ever-changing agricultural landscape. To every farmer and rancher, and especially to our nation's Farmer Veterans, thank you for your service, your dedication, and your commitment to keeping America strong. Jeanette Lombardo Chief Executive Officer Farmer Veteran Coalition #NationalFarmersDay# #AmericanAgriculture#

American farmers deserve the best plant genetics in the world and fair competition. 🌱🇺🇸      Today in Prairie City, Iowa, we announced three actions to strengthen American agriculture:     ✅ $180 MILLION for @USDA’s Seed Sovereignty Initiative. Better understanding USDA’s genetic resources can help researchers and American seed companies develop new traits that can help protect crops from pests and disease and reduce dependence on foreign countries.      ✅ Expanded work with DOJ on seed pricing and competition. Farmers need real choices, including independent seed companies deserve a fair shot.      ✅ $6 MILLION for @IowaStateU to expand its Alliant Energy Agriculture Innovation Lab — helping turn research into tools farmers can use.      These investments help secure our food supply from the seed up. And starting this month, more than $1 BILLION in farm safety net payments will go to Iowa producers thanks to increased reference prices in the Working Families Tax Cuts Act.      Thank you to the Cannon family, @RepMMM, @ZachNunn, @MikeNaigIA, and @AGIowa!      Under President Trump, farm security is national security.

🚜🇺🇸 American agriculture is OPEN FOR BUSINESS! When we walked in the door, we inherited a nearly $50 BILLION agricultural trade deficit and zero new trade deals. 18 months later: 🌎 20 new trade deals 📉 Deficit cut nearly in half to $29B 📈 Record farm exports on track 🌾 New markets opening across the Middle East, Southeast Asia & Japan @POTUS is putting American farmers and ranchers FIRST — He has opened new markets and created more opportunities to sell the best products in the world. We’re not done yet. 🇺🇸

Four generations of American agriculture at Sunnycrest Farms. 🍎🫐🇺🇸      Today in New Hampshire, I toured this amazing family-owned farm and sat down with Granite State producers to hear directly about the challenges they are facing.      Ongoing drought has made this growing season especially difficult. That is why @USDA recently approved a disaster designation for qualifying New Hampshire counties, including Rockingham County.      The designation opens access to low-interest emergency loans and immediate cash-flow relief for eligible producers as they recover.      From targeted disaster assistance to support for specialty crop growers, @POTUS and USDA are fighting to ensure family farms like Sunnycrest can continue feeding their communities for generations to come.

The world is buying American agriculture again. 🇺🇸 It was great to be with so many patriots at Minnesota Farmfest today and share how @POTUS is opening markets and delivering historic export gains for our farmers: 📈 Japan: +41% 📈 Middle East: +48% 📈 European Union: +61% 📈 Southeast Asia: +63% 📈 Australia: +85% And American agricultural exports are now breaking records in SEVEN markets! Mexico, Korea, Vietnam, Colombia, Taiwan, the EU, and the Dominican Republic. From Minnesota sweet corn to soybeans and sorghum, American farmers are competing and WINNING on the world stage once again.

America First means American Agriculture First. Last week at @FAO's Committee on Agriculture @FAOCOAG, USDA Minister-Counselor Doug Hoelscher and the U.S. delegation stood up for American farmers, ranchers, & producers—championing science-based trade standards that support American exports and backing innovation that boosts farmer profitability & U.S. competitiveness. American farmers continue to lead the way in providing food, fuel, and fiber for the world. #AmericaFirst# #FarmersFirst# #AgTrade# #BacktoBasics#

It’s MAHA Day at the Great American State Fair! 🍎🥛🇺🇸 Joined @LawrenceBJones3 and @foxandfriends on the National Mall to talk about how the Trump Administration is Making America Healthy Again — putting farmers and ranchers BACK at the center of our food system. We’re partnering with the states who run the food stamp program to STOP taxpayer dollars from funding junk food, getting real food — including whole milk (#DrinkWholeMilk#!) — back on family tables and in our schools. And implementing our new Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGAs) that prioritize high-quality protein, dairy, healthy fats, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains — while reducing highly processed foods. American agriculture is leading the solution to our chronic disease crisis! BIG thank you to my MAHA partner @SecKennedy as we deliver on President Trump’s vision to Make America Healthy Again.
